the undertaking establishment to which
the bodies of the dead Anarchists were
taken after the execution, yesterday, were
thrown open at o'clock this morning and
the crowd which had heen waiting TO view
the remains began to file in.
Only the bodies Of ParsOus and Fischer
were left to crafty the morbid curiosity oil
the crowd, the remains Of Spies and Engle
having already been removed. Occasion
ally one of the curious would mutter
something AS he gazed upon the upturred,
distorted faces Of the dead, but most OF the
people passed on silently after single
glance at the cOuutenances Of the much
talked-of men.
At9 o'clock the door WAS closed. At
that time there WAS big crowd outside,
and it was estimated that four or live
thousand people had viewed the remains.
A half hour later the bodies were remov-
ed to the late residences Of the Anarchists.
No excitement attended the transfer OF
the remains.
DEMONSTRATIONS To BE PROHIBITED.
Ii looks very much to day rs if the city
authorities would refuse to allow the
friends OF the executed Anarchists TO carry
out their programme respecting their
funerals, which are set for tomorrow. 1t
has been learned from the most re-
liable sources that Mayor Roche, Chiet
of Police Ebersold. Inspector BOnIield
and Commissioner of Public Works Swift
have had a long conference respecting
" hat theY would OF would not allow. The
Chief and Mayor are both set against per.
mittiug crowds 10 line the streets through
which the cortege proposes passing And
il may he decided that the buriais of the
"Rrds' will have to be made separately.
Ii is strongly hiutCd that the authorities
of Waldheim cemetery, tie one IN which
It was proposed to bury the Reds and
over their graves erect a monument, were
seriously considering whether ii was not
their duty 10 refuse q resting place for the
Anarchists remains within their in-
closure. At least they will not allow the
monument
ANOTHCR FLAG INCIDENT
An incident occurred this morning which
shows the temper OF the law-abiding peo-
pie of the city. Spies was a member of
the Aurora Turn Yerein. Some Socialistic
members of the organization placed an
American flag at half-mast on Aurora Turn
Halle. Il had not been there long before
the owners ct the building ordered the flag
taken down, and it was done. Both the
owners OF the Aurora Turn Halle, it may
be interesting to know, are Germans.
Il was also learned this morning that the
Turn Halle owners would most likely re-
fuse to allow the body of Spies to lie In
state in the Halle, as proposed.
Edmund Deuss, editor of the ArGeiteI
ZcituRg said that he had not yet found the
composure to write his editorial senti-
men;s, but he could briefly outline them
as they would he in the next issue Of the
paper. This will be the tenor OF our ar
tiCle: The history of the world is the
tribunal of the world, and as Sheriff Mat
son shall live in history, so shall he stand
arraigned by popular sentiment for his
cruel denial of few farewell words to the
condemned. He had plenty of time to al
low them even as much a. twenty minutes
each, but he refused it and strangled Par
sons as he spoke. Such reflections rs
these will be the burden of our editorial. y
During this morning the directors OF
Wallpeim Cemetry, had informal talks
among themselves as to the propriety oi
having the Anarchists buried in theiI
ground, John Buehler, banker and secre'
tlry of the board, said that nothing posi-
tive had been determined upon at l p. m
He had decided, however, to call formal
meeting of the board for , p. NJ, at which
the question would be discussed.
REMOVING THE DEAD.
At 10 o'clock the Casket containing the
body OF Fischer was taken out. 1t was to
be taken to the home of his wife 1t was
quickly lifted into the wagon and an oil
cloth covering spread over it. Then the
undertaken and his assistants mounted the
box and the wagon was driven out Mil
waukee avenue, followed by crowd OF
small boys, most of the grown people stay
ing behind in hopes of getting look at
| Parsons. A detail OF police just 60
ing on duty came along at the
time and marched after the wagon.
| This created some cOmmotion along
the way, but it died out when tn police
| turned of at Novel street. The wagon
with its guard OF boys moved on to the
house of Mrs. Fischer, just block east oi
Milwaukee avenue It is \ two story frame
structure, and is occupied by several fam
| lies. Mrs. FiScher's apartments are N
the rear on the ground floor, and are en-
tered through an arch under rear stair
WAY, leading from the second story. This
arch was draped with white and black
cambric. Around the house was great
crowd of women and children, evidently
belonging in the neighborbood. They
were most sadly curious rather than SYM
pathetic, and when the wagon drew mp IN
front of the house they
GRAINED THEIR NECES
to see Uhst they could.
Mrs. Ficcher was at the house of one OF
the neighbors when the body Of her bus
band arrived, but as soon as it bad beer
carried into the house and properly placed
she was escorted into her desolste home by
two female friends. She was suffering
greatly and her actions were somewhat
hysterical. She stopped occasionally and
threw her arms about one or the other oi
her friends and wept bitterly. At one
O'Clock the curious throng still hung about
the house.
The doors and windows of Chris. Spies
house, where the body of the dead
anarchist lies were barred and would not
be opened to anyone Long stripes Of white
and black Grape swung from the door be-
low. At the top Of the symbols OF mourn
ing was large black rose, made also OF
Grape, and from the middle of the rose
streams of red fiuttered in the breeze.
From the moment the dead body arrived
at the residence Of Augnst's brother, the
house. has been
